Question

Can someone give me some examples where potential energy was converted to kinetic energy?

Answer 1

Snow avalanche

Answer 2

u can think abt a stretched spring

Answer 3

I can give u more example if u want

Answer 4

A person falling down a slide, anything involving sloped surfaces is a decent bet that PE and KE are being converted

Answer 5

the easiest examle is falling of an object from a height
initially at the moment, when we release it, its velocity is 0 so the kinetic energy(K.E) is zero but as we are holding it at a height, it will have some potential energy as potential energy(P.E) is mgh and here his not equal to zero
as we release it, it starts gaining velocity and its height from ground starts decreasing so the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases and this is where the potential energy of the block is getting converted into kinetic energy
at the moment when it touches the ground, its P.E. becomes 0 as the height from ground becomes 0
and its K.E. is max. as it has gained max. velocity of its motion while hitting the ground
at this moment, the p.e. is fully converted into k.e.
